Sold GONE: Black Pentax MG with non-operating shutter

[Kodachromeguy]

Here we go again, another 1980s camera with electronic problems.

This is a clean black Pentax MG body. The light meter does work because the LEDs in the viewfinder show what the shutter speed is supposed to be. But the shutter only clicks at one fast speed. I have tried new batteries, different lenses, etc. Mirror moves instantly, no hesitation. Light seals are fresh.

This little camera worked flawlessly in Tacoma, Greece, and Istanbul.

Free, but a contribution to postage is always welcome. Ship to USA only.

Thanks everyone.

UPDATE 11/18/2025: Gone to a new home.

BUMP. Please, someone take this little camera away. Disassemble it, fix it, scavenge the parts. I am trying to clean up my stuff......
